Meet Lupita, a 3-year-old terrier mix who's making waves with her unique blend of playful spirit and endearing charm. This pint-sized dynamo is brimming with personality and is ready to find a special place in a loving home.

Everyone who has taken Lupita on a Doggy Date has said she is wonderful in the car - a perfect Passenger Princess who truly wishes she were small enough to be a lap dog while you drive. She loves watching kids play and stare at (but not chase) the squirrels in the park, and sticks right by your side on walks.

Lupita's love for water is truly unmatched-whether it's splashing around in a kiddie pool or frolicking in a shallow stream, she's all about making a splash and having fun. Her enthusiasm for water play is sure to provide endless entertainment and joy for her future family.

Despite her fun-loving nature, Lupita has a few areas where she could use a bit of extra support. She would greatly benefit from crate training to help her feel secure and reduce her tendency to be destructive when left alone. With the right guidance and a bit of patience, Lupita is sure to thrive and become a well-adjusted companion.

This sweet terrier mix can be slow to warm up, but once she feels comfortable and secure, she reveals her true cuddly side. With time and trust, Lupita is more than ready to snuggle up and show her affectionate nature to those who earn her trust.

In summary, Lupita is a delightful and spirited terrier mix who's ready to make a splash in your life. Her love for water, coupled with her potential for deep bonds and affectionate moments, makes her a fantastic candidate for a patient and understanding family. With a bit of crate training and some time to warm up, Lupita is set to become a cherished member of any loving home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We hope you meet your four-legged love at SPCA Florida! Our goal is to help you find a companion that best suits your household. We have wonderful animals available and a great deal of information to share with you.

Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals’ history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.

If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.

When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.

Adoption Fees
Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:

•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets
•Dogs are dewormed, tested for heartworms (if negative they receive a 30-day heartworm preventative; if positive a certificate for treatment paid for by the Guardian Angel Fund) and receive vaccinations for canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, parvovirus and Rabies
•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
